Chop Shop was surprisingly incredible. My husband had the Filet Mignon, and sides, and it was cooked to perfection! I had the stuffed artichokes, and grilled asparagus, and enjoyed it very much. The atmosphere was perfect for a date night. The staff could not be nicer. Our table was comfortable for two. This was our first time there, because the name gave me the wrong impression of the establishment. We will definitely be back!

Food is always good here! Can’t beat the lunch and happy hour specials. Service very good. Very nice inside. Only complaint is it’s a little chilly in restaurant and bathroom has no heat at all! Wouldn’t deter me from going back but figured I’d put it on here in case the managers read this review

We truly enjoyed the breakfast with Santa that was hosted here, our families had such a great time and it's definitely a tradition we will want to do again next year. It was a perfect amount of food, a great atmosphere and Santa was interactive and such a great treat for our kids.
